Allergies, asthma, heart and circulatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, some cancers, multiple sclerosis, and possibly Alzheimers. These are just a few debilitating diseases that can originate partly or entirely from the immune systems aggressive response to perceived harmful stimuli. Aging itself has been described as the totality of a lifetime of chronic inflammation. Better understanding the causes and control of chronic inflammation thus can lead to profound improvements in human health and healthy longevity. With its deep trove of immunologists, rheumatologists, and cancer biologists, the NIH IRP can make major contributions to the characterization and control of inflammatory processes.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Welcome and Introduction</strong><br><a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/michael-gottesman">Michael Gottesman, M.D.</a>, Deputy Director for Intramural Research, NIH</li> <li><strong>Cytokine signaling: basic and applied</strong><br><a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/john-oshea">John O'Shea, M.D.</a> (NIAMS)</li> <li><strong>Advanced imaging of lesion repair in multiple sclerosis</strong><br><a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/daniel-reich">Daniel Reich, M.D., Ph.D.</a> (NINDS)</li> <li><strong>The NIH Center for Human Immunology</strong><br><a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/neal-young">Neal Young, M.D.</a> (NHLBI)</li> <li><strong>Panel Discussants:</strong> <a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/rachel-caspi">Rachel Caspi, Ph.D.</a> (NEI), Stephen Katz, M.D., Ph.D. (NIAMS), and <a href="https://irp.nih.gov/pi/thomas-wynn">Thomas Wynn, Ph.D.</a> (NIAID)</li>
